No, that's not right, IMO. Bread mold can be deadly to humans, so I wouldn't feed it to the birds. (Something about rye bread/flour killing hundreds until they figured out the problem, somewhere in history) I do feed my birds things I won't eat such as 5 day old pasta in sauce, but I NEVER feed them anything with visible mold because I just don't know what molds are toxic and which ones a chicken can tolerate. (When making sourdough starter PINK mold is a sign to throw it out and start again; or get gravely ill from the product you bake)
What you might want to do is clean out the fridge once a week and throw out to the chickens anything that you haven't eaten that week, before it molds. Will cut down on feed and garbage removal costs. Not to mention yield you more fridge space as summer approaches.
Edited to add: I have a pie plate on my counter that I scrape dinner plates onto and anything from dinner prep (Skins, seeds, etc) and throw that plate of food out to the chickens every day. And they know it....ever see a flock of birds come running when they hear the sliding door open? Happens several times a day at my house, cuz that's the door I throw the food out of. LOL (and I go through the fridge every Saturday morning and throw that food out to them Sat and Sun, cuz I am home to space out the feast. If you do it every week it only take a few minutes because you know what is new and what isn't, no time spent thinking "how old is THIS thing")

) My girls who are a year old are NOT happy to be sharing any space with them, so we took the large kennel out with them, put their crumbles and water in there with them, closed the door and the ducks proceeded to hiss(?) as the chickens.. I think I have some birds with attitudes!! lol
